The federal government talks an awful lot about the housing crisis and getting homes built but then continues to sit on huge parcels of land that have plans approved (Booth St, Tunneys, etc.) I know there is lots to deal with behind the scenes but it's frustrating.

It's hard to develop a skyline around your transit stations when all the TOD land is occupied by a highway.

Exciting news for sure.

Okay so when I first looked at those screenshots I was a bit disappointed because it seems silly to have two roads that both have bidirectional vehicle lanes on both sides of the park. I admittedly haven't followed this project super closely. But before just complaining, I figured I should watch...

This is huge for the city! It's the property outlined in red below and potentially green as well? The green outlines are separate properties but are also labelled as 100 Constellation on GeoOttawa. The two lots with red "?" on them are not labelled but could also be included. The blue shaded...

Shoring started this week. As of yesterday, it looked like they had completed 7 or 8 piles.

He had an event where he presented the concept and had a panel discussion with some people from the industry. It was really well attended and nice to see so many people generally on board with the idea. His intent is not so much to have this built but more to start a discussion about how the...

Look for shoring to start on Monday.

WHY do they need to change colours halfway up? What does it accomplish other than making it look tacky? Just take the dark brick all the way to the top. Also, these look like chunky floor plates.

Claridge doing Claridge things.

I think it depends on the project. Tamarack and Tartan are more suburban, tract housing builders. I'm sure the two construction arms are more specialized in certain types of projects as well.

You should be looking at Taggart Realty's website for their development arm of companies. https://www.taggart.ca/ Taggart Construction, Doran Construction, Tamarack Homes, Taggart Realty, and Tartan are all part of the Taggart Group of Companies. I don't think we should underestimate what they...

FYI it looks like there is an elevation mock-up on site approx here. I can only see the back of it from Albert but @hoggytime wondering if you get the drone in the right place if you could get a glimpse of some cladding?

Yes! They have essentially scraped away all the top soil so far. You can see at the bottom of @hoggytime's last photo that shoring equipment has showed up on site. Shoring will likely start soon which is more or less making walls below ground along the property line so when they do the real...

Hah! looks like the guy in the middle saw you!

One of the most prominent Canadian urbanists openly calling out Ottawa as a city that should be better.

Sure density is looking good, but this is still trending to become a hostile place to anyone outside of a vehicle.

9 times out of 10 I would prefer white over silver. Will be interesting to see how this turns out.
